GREELEY, Colo. - Augie, a 12-year-old pug has never seen his best friend Pepe, achihuahua, but that doesnt matter. The two have been inseparable for years.

The duo arrived at the Colorado Pug Rescue after their owner was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Augie has been blind most of his life, according to foster parent Cyndi Trimber. They sleep together, she said. Its really sweet. Its really sweet that they kind of depend on each other like that.

Unfortunately, the pugs emotional support pal couldnt prepare him for what would happen next. Augies blindness was so bad, he had to have both of his eyes removed a couple of weeks ago. Plus, some major dental surgery.

The group was billed $3100 for the operations, emergency money they didnt expect to spend, given it helps more than 100 pugs throughout the year.

Trimber said, I went to pick him up and Im like, Holy! Its a foster group. You know? Where are we going to get that kind of money?

The Colorado Pug Rescue is hoping some kind folks will help with donations and perhaps provide these best friends with a forever home.

I just want them to have the best possible life they can have, Trimber explained.
